2.1.2012 No more beating around the bush, hiding in esoteric language, or making obscure references. I am going to talk about creativity! And it is going to be really, really fun. It is time to dive deeper into the sublime nature of artmaking, into how something comes from nothing, and into the magic trick of making beauty, a trick you can't perform as much as accept that it happens.

I want to start slowly, well, what I really want is to set a comfortable pace for a journey that never ends. So there will be pauses in the writing, gaps, starts and stops, digressions, ruminations, sudden closures, and breakthroughs that will keep creativity in proper perspective and always on our minds.

But what does it mean to write toward a pinnacle that can never be reached, never be described; like a heroic journey to the source of creativity? It means every path, every variation, every possibility must be traversed, mapped, explored, laid out, looked at, colored, and transformed.

Writing about creativity means the journey and the goal are the same thing.
